In 2018, a Texas photographer was falsely accused of assaulting several models. He was able to disprove the allegations thanks to text messages, but by that point his name and reputation had been devastated by the horde.

In Lens of Lies, I go in detail how the mob did their digital lynching of him. This is a case study of a MeToo swarm that unfolded in real time and largely in public. There's much to learn here about their techniques and priorities, especially as it mirrors the NPC horde behavior we see in other fields.

This is a 3 part series. In Part 1, I focused on how the mob attacked the photographer directly. In part 2, I cover how they turned against anyone who tried to defend the photographer. And in part 3, I will explore the hypocrisy of the accusers and what photographers can do to protect themselves going forward.
